America’s under-educated students used as pawns in forwarding liberal agenda

One month after the Parkland, Florida high school massacre killing 17 students and teachers, perpetrated by a known mentally ill teen who should have been on the FBI’s radar, thousands of students nationally participated in walkouts — demanding, not better vigilance, but gun control.

It makes sense if you realize our rights have taken a back seat to political correctness, gender and minority studies, global warming now known as climate change, celebrations of diversity rather than unity, recycling and the #Me Too movement.

The national walkout was organized byWomen’s March Youth Empower, an arm of the radical leftist group that plans worldwide protests. Their Mission Statement includes these words: “Women’s March is committed to dismantling systems of oppression through nonviolent resistance….” To understand the full impact of its intentions, check out the group’sUnity Principles.

These are the people who are influencing American youth and using them to advance a left-wing, anti-Second Amendment agenda. Teachers and administrators who cancelled classes are far from blameless, using taxpayer dollars to advance a similar political scheme. This videoshows propagandized students chanting, “Hey, Hey, NRA, how many kids did you kill today?”

These students have no understanding of what the NRA stands for or the important work it has done since its1871 foundingin protecting our freedoms.

We’ve heard the name Marjory Stoneman Douglas frequently since the Florida shooting at a high school named in her honor. She’s been blandly described as a journalist and environmentalist. Few are aware the early advocate for illegals and hard-drinking liberal was instrumental in founding the first ACLU chapter in the south in the 1950s and was so godless she left advance instructions forbidding any religious references at her own funeral. She was no fan of Ronald Reagan but was posthumously honored by Barack Obama who designated her home a national historic landmark.

The Center for Responsive Politics shows the millions in campaign donations made by theNational Education Association(NEA) and theAmerican Federation of Teachers(AFT).They donate almost exclusively to Democrat candidates. Remember that these people spend more time influencing your children and grandchildren than you do.

Rather than leaving class to threaten legislators with their imminent ability to vote them out, these students need to be in class learning — something thisPew Research Center studyshows is in serious decline. American students lag behind developed and developing countries in science, math and reading scores, ranking 30th in math and 19th in science. The U.S. Constitution — including the all-important Amendments and our Bill of Rights — wouldn’t be on that international list, but there is little doubt that it isn’t a high priority in our nation’s public schools.
